Tes is a pitcher for Notre Dame HS and has committed to Texas Tech next fall. Keep it up ladies.

Class at Mesa Community College on Friday touched on how Olympic Weightlifting can benefit every type of Strength & Conditioning Program aimed at developing Power and Strength. We also discussed how the neural adaptations from Weightlifting help athletes become better athletes in their primary sport. Ground based multi-joint movements that require coordination, speed, and power develop usable athleticism on the playing field.

Speed Training for Football at any level must first start with a foundation of strength and technique. Then you must understand the demands of the sport. Quickness and power will always prevail over open field running. Rarely will every player run the equivalent of a 40 yard dash during a single play. However, 3-7 yards is more realistic and many will have to change direction during that play more than once. It is this reason that makes our running program unique to many. 5-7 yard Bubble.
